It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Thanksgiving break is upon us and that means two things. 1. Lots of free, delicious food. 2. Lots of questions from all of your family members at the dinner table.

Here's a list of what your aunts, uncles, and grandparents will probably ask you and what you'll want to say, as well as what you actually say.

1. "Hi _________! How's school going?!"







In my head: "It's going. I have three papers due, and all my finals due in a the next week, but it's fine.

What I actually say: "It's going well!"

2. "Do you like it?"











In my head: "Most of the time, but sometimes it's like riding a bike through Hell."

What I actually say: "It's really great!"

3. "Are you ready for the semester to be over?"








In my head: "I've been ready for it to be over since I got there."

What I actually say: "Yes, I'm ready to move on from these classes."

4. "Have you gained weight? You look different..."









In my head: "I actually didn't gain any weight. Too bad we can't say the same for you..."

What I actually say: "No, I try to eat healthy."

5. "Do you go to the gym a lot?"







In my head: "We have a gym?"

What I actually say: "I try to go a couple times a week."

6. "Do you have a boyfriend yet?"







In my head: "Let me add that to my list of things to do."

What I actually say: "Not quite yet!"

7. "How are your roommates?"








In my head: "One of us is always sick, and I don't know where the others are."

What I actually say: "They're all good!"

8. "What are your plans for after college?"









In my head: "I'd like to get through college first."

What I actually say: "I'm not sure yet, but definitely finding a job!"

9. "What's your major again? (What will you do with that?)"









In my head: "There are plenty of things to do with my Communications/Journalism degree. What I'll do with it is still a mystery.

What I actually say: "I'm not sure yet, but I plan to use my degree!"

10. "Where are you going again?"


In my head: "You couldn't have asked me this one first?

What I actually say: "Shippensburg University!"

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
